John 17 - God's Glory - Our Purpose

September 22, 2024 • Matthew Dionne • John 17

Give

In this chapter of Scripture - commonly referred to as Christ's "high priestly prayer" we get a glimpse at Jesus' private conversation with the Father. This week we will see how Christ made God's glory His priority, and we will discuss how we are invited to do the same.

When we fix our eyes God’s glory, our everyday obedience glorifies Him and unifies us in joy and purpose.

Denying Jesus - John 18:15-18; 25-27

November 3, 2024 • Matthew Dionne

At the same time as Jesus was on trial before His enemies, Peter was going through his own kind of trial... would he stand up for Jesus, or would he falter and deny Him. In our passage today, we learn some important things about what leads us to deny Jesus in the first place, how to avoid it. But most importantly we learn how God deals with us when we do fail. Even when we do sin and deny Christ, God’s not done with us. He will restore us if we turn back to Him in genuine love and obedience.

John 18 Truth on Trial

October 27, 2024 • Matthew Dionne • John 18:19–24, John 18:28–40

What is Truth? and how do we talk about the ultimate Truth in a culture that increasingly rejects the notion of truth? In our text, Jesus is confronted with two groups of people who are either ignorant of the truth, or are downright opposed to it. We learn from their tactics and Jesus reaction. We must be prepared to declare the Truth of the Gospel with boldness and gentleness - and leave the results to God.
